Daily needs

[Yank]

I dont understand how the daily needs work.
You have circles for food, drink and sleep but I dont understand: why is it green or yellow, what does it mean when it's big or small...

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hmm so now i have suddenly been your lad as well huhh do i sound as a smal boy to you !!!

-- In so case then you can answer this by give me one good reason : Why do they wanna us to spend time on guesses in a computer game on something that should be obvious ?


Anyway did you not catch the point with that warning dude where that warning was about evolution where you need to figure out how to evolve as a challenges from bottom of the ape stage and not poor mechanics where they throw food - water and sleep in one indicator and yes i use hud and i know how to turn it of as well when i feel for it.

Yes your right where they add sleep - food + water in one circle and then we need to try them all out by taking a guess "and look after that shrinking glowy circle "and that work when we get use to it but not as good as 3 single one.

Ty mate.

My primate doesn't know if she's hungry, sleepy, or thirsty, just that she isn't feeling well. She has to go to sleep before she can figure out what she wants. No wonder it took so long to evolve.

The key is that shrinking glowy circle who pop up. So next time you see your green big circle diminished then try to take some water and when you doing that then look for that shrinking glowy circle who pop up inside of that green big circle and when that glowy circle pop up then you need to drink water to that stage it disappear.

If you dont see any glowy circle inside that green big circle when you drink water then you should try food and if not then you should try sleep and if sleeping helps then you stopp sleeping when that glowy circle disappear as steventirey said.

I may think that is the answer you looking for and sorry my english by the way.

Yes, you bought a game that's not like any other that's ever been made.

That's the whole point.

Sorry it's not for you.

When you wake up, you can view the 3 circle they show you independently the thing your monkey need...,

for the big green circle you view when you are awake, it's represent all the thing togheter, in big it's your life bubble...,

by example, you have young, mature, and old monkey, depending of the one you chose you will have different life bubble they represent your state, a very old monkey will have a less big life bubble because they are less strong they resist less to the thing they can do less before they become tired and need to wait to find her breath, ect..., a mature monkey have a big bullble, they can do more before they become tired, ect...,

they red part in your green bubble want to say it's miss you something to be at a very good shape, by example, it's can because you miss food, water or because you have not sleep enought,

but to know what is the problem if you have not view the 3 bubble in wake up, wait an look your monkey when they are idle, if they put her hand in her stomac, it's want to say they want to eat, if they hold her neck, they want to drink, if the screen become more dark when you walk, it's because you are tired,

so, if you need to eat or drink you made it and the red part in the green bubble become green, but if it's because you are sleepy, they will stay like this and more in the day until you go to sleep,

the monkey we are today have not the same language than in this time, in this time they talk more by "body language",

if you have red part because of food or drink, go get some, oh! and the water are not only good for drinking, by example if you have stomac problem after you eat something not good, go take water and at each drink the bad thing disapear fast, but if you are tired, don't return goin to sleep, just take the day relax in the camp until the night and go to the bed less late the usually and if you sleep until the morning you will be ok, perharps some food and drink needed, but after take some you life bubble return all to green,

don't look the bubble life such as an indicator for food, thirsty, or sleeping, the bubble it's you max energy life, if you have no green color in your bubble, you will not make big thing before you need to stay and way some seconde to retrieve your breath after more action,

to give you an idea, try it with one mature monkey an one old monkey after, with the old one you will need to take a bread of some second after each little effort of her body,

be a baby don't ask big food or water or sleeping time, but they can do nothing, they can not build and if you try to go to explore, it's take no long time before they come in panic if you go a little out of the camp with her and you begin to view hallucination, ect...

in big, listen her body language...

Small kids usually say what your saying when they get lost for words sorry about that lol.

He's tried his best to make you see the reasoning behind the mechanics. If you still can't see said reason, and given that he enjoys this game, he has no reason NOT to be sorry the game isn't for you. Especially since you've clearly been wasting your time with it instead of doing something that you actually enjoy.

[Symatrix Hill]

-- If he gonna try his best then he should stay with the game mechanics , all other stuff he should keep for him self and that applies to you too.

By the way did you not either realize that the main post author was happy with the answer or did i missing something here hmm

Editorial; I forgot to mention that this is based on the 3 icons that appear straight after you sleep.

A large green circle means he don't need it. he is good.
A small green circle means he is good but get looking for it.
Once it dips past that small constant circle you got problems and they start losing lifespan, it will be yellow.
When it's empty it will be red. They are dying.
The small constant circle remains to show where you need to get the level too to save them.

Additional: The centre circle meanings.

Full green, healthy and happy.
Large Red with varying size of green in middle means they are healthy but need food and or water.
The smaller the circle as a whole means shorter lifespan.

The circle has flashes too;
While doing random stuff like building, crafting, climbing;
Green flashes means they are tiring.
Red flashes means they have an ailment of some kind like hunger, thirst or poisons.

While eating/drinking and sleeping;
Yellow flashes means it's filling up.
Green flashes means it's full.

Stop moving your ape for a bit. If he/she needs to drink/eat/feed you will notice it by the ape's animation.

Ty gonna keep that in mind next time.
